What is a Service Unit?
A Girl Scout service unit is a community of volunteers and girls in
a geographic area. The service unit (SU) team is an essential support
system that organizes training, mentorship, girl program, as well as
membership support for volunteers, girls and caregivers.
Service Units generally hold monthly meetings where they share
information about upcoming events and new information from GSGST &
GSUSA with representatives from each troop.
Why are Service Unit meetings important?
- Find out about upcoming events and activities
- Learn
from leaders who have “been there and done that”
- Connect
with other troops that can assist you with your troop
- Get
suggestions about best practices
- Hear first-hand about
GSGST & GSUSA specific information
- Get important
training
- Make new friends
